Mete Atatüre (born 19 February 1975) is a Turkish physicist working on experimental solid-state quantum optics, in particular on the optical control of spin-photon coupling for quantum networks as well as investigation of many-body physics in atomically-thin heterostructures, with the aim of developing new materials and devices for quantum sensing applications.
He currently leads the Quantum Optical Materials and Systems (QOMS) group at the University of Cambridge, with about 30 PhD students and research staff. He is also a co-founder and CSO of the spin-out Nu Quantum Ltd. Since October 2023, he is the Head of the Cavendish Laboratory.
